Our country has a “justice” system that criminalizes poverty + disproportionately targets race, yet routinely pardons large-scale crimes of wealth and privilege. Moments like these tell us it’s less a justice system, and more a class enforcement system. ⬇️

It’s easy to forget that we don’t always have to identify with our thoughts. Some thoughts demand we feel fear or cry out for rebuttal, but we can also notice what’s happening, say “oh, that’s interesting”, and move on.

In February, I called Google out for selling bump stocks (against their own policy) and they made a big fuss, briefly blocking all gun keywords. Six months later, @colinmjensen has found that Google Shopping is selling bump stocks again.

I always found the charge of virtue signaling to be a curious one. On the list of transgressions worth caring about, doing good deeds but not truly meaning it ranks infinitely higher than doing shitty things as an authentic asshole.

I am, sadly, going to retweet an earlier thread. Media: please don’t put the killer’s face on loop, on front pages, on your app notifications. Don’t sensationally publicize manifestos. Focus on victims and structural causes. Don’t help inspire the next killer.
